On Monday, Cowanesque Valley didn't have quite enough to beat Towanda and fell 5-4.

Loagan Stickler was cooking despite his team's loss, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.

Meanwhile, Troy had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Monday. They never let the Sabres get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Trojans, who have now won ten games by six runs or more so far this season.

Joseph Frye made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over six innings pitched. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Reed Palmer, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. That triple was his first of the season. Lincoln Chimics was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double.

Troy pushed their record up to 13-5 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Cowanesque Valley, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-3.

Wednesday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Cowanesque Valley has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .432. However, it's not like Troy struggles in that department as they've averaged .458. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Cowanesque Valley suffered a grim 9-3 defeat to Troy in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. Will the Indians have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
